Schwartz Sladkus Reich Greenberg Atlas LLP (SSRGA), a leading New York City-based full- service law firm, will expand to South Florida, merging with Bresky Law and Johnson, Ritchey & Feldman, P.A. in a merger effective May 15, 2022.

I’m looking forward to helping more people with this incredible team we’re building.”
